Hovden Takes Stock Car Thriller At Deer Creek

Spring Valley, MN (July 16)

By: Todd Narveson

A large crowd of fans and a season high 119-cars were on hand for Tasseldega Nights at Deer Creek Speedway. The southern Minnesota corn Growers of Mower, Dodge, Goodhue, Freeborn, Olmsted, Wabasha and Fillmore counties offered free admission to the front gate this week.

Also 18-other ag related businesses and organizations helped out to present the free race program for the fans in attendance.

A huge field of 44-Kid’s Dreams Come True USRA B-Mods needed five heat races and two B-Mains to determine their 26-car field for the feature race.

Taylor Ausrud jumped to the lead, but Alex Schubbe would lead lap one. Noah Grinstead worked to third early in the race while Schubbe and Ausrud raced up front. The trio was close on lap eight and Ausrud started to challenge for the lead.

Ausrud was able to get alongside Schubbe on a couple of occasions but just could not quite get by. Grinstead was right there to make it a three-car battle.

Schubbe first fended off the advances of Ausrud and then fought off Grinstead to take his first ever Deer Creek win. Grinstead was second with Ausrud third. Joe Chisholm finished in fourth and Zach Brom was fifth.

Schubbe also collected an extra $200 from Action Engineering when Schubbe spun the bonus money wheel and it came up “winner�.

The story in the Adams Graphix WISSOTA Street Stocks continues to be Braden Brauer. Brauer brought out a new car and did not miss a beat when he won his fifth of the season.

Brauer came from row three to take the lead, but the win was not that easy. His younger brother Kolton made him work for it and they crossed the line first and second. Kyle King returned to racing after a couple of seasons off to finish in third with Ross Spitzer and Nick Schebach in the top five.

Josh Mattick led the 24-car pack of Dirt Doctor Trucking WISSOTA Midwest Modifieds until Don Schaefer took the lead on lap three. Kadden Kath was on the move from row five and quickly was in the top five.

Kath continued his charge to the front when he passed Mattick on lap eight and then challenged Schaefer. Kath made the pass on lap 14, but Schaefer drove back by. Kath reclaimed the lead before a yellow flew on lap 15.

On the start, Kylie Kath who was third tried in vain to get by Schaefer and Kadden Kath. Kylie Kath slid up the track and that allowed Kadden Kath to pull away.

Kadden Kath led the last three laps for the win which was his third of the week. Kylie Kath was second while Schaefer was third. Christopher Deno finished in fourth and Mitch Weiss was fifth.

Another great field of 22-Medieval Chassis USRA Stock Cars put on an outstanding 20-lap feature race. Shawn Peter led the first eight laps until a caution came out.

On the start, Kyle Falck who started seventh snagged the lead and brought 12th starter Mitch Hovden along with him. Falck and Hovden’s race for the lead was spectacular from lap 13 to lap 18. In that timeframe Falk and Hovden exchanged 10-slide jobs for the lead back and forth.

On lap 18, Falck spun in turn one and that collected a couple of cars. Brayden Gjere was sent to the tail for the yellow and that set up a dash to the finish.

Hovden held on for the win which was his sixth of the year. Josh Zieman who started 11th made a late race charge to second with Falk third. Blakc Adams would finish fourth and Kevin Donlan came from 17th to fifth.

The Napa Auto Care Centers USRA Modifieds had rookie modified driver Ryan Wiome lead the first nine laps. Brandon Davis took over after a restart a set sail until a big crash took place on lap 12.

Darwyn Karau, Jake Stark and Jayden Larson got tangled on the front-stretch. Some great driving from those three and others prevented the melee from being even bigger.

From there Davis checked out for his second win of the season. This win also tied him with Mike Sorensen for the all-time Modified feature win lead with 48. Jim Chisholm raced from 13th to third while Parker Hale, Keith Foss and Josh Angst rounded out the top five.
